Mel Gibson blasts California leaders' ‘incompetence' following Los Angeles riots
Hollywood star Mel Gibson has slammed California leaders over their handling of the state following the Los Angeles riots.
In a video, Gibson targeted California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for allowing the protests to turn violent.
Gibson previously blasted the pair over their handling of the Palisades and Eaton fires that devastated Southern California earlier in the year.
'The Passion of the Christ' director's comments came during his appearance on the 'Arroyo Grande with Raymond Arroyo' podcast.
'Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have already proven their incompetence and poor leadership during the Los Angeles wildfires,' Gibson said.
'Now, as we experience rampant lawlessness and civil unrest, it's never been more clear. They're unable to respond effectively and responsibly during calamity. Whether it's sheer incompetence or outright malevolence, the reality is stark.'
